Notabunny:DjangoStonereaver: Sriracha is way too hot, which is why all the hipster foodie tossers like it.

My 7yo daughter has enjoyed it on soups and noodles and rice and salads and sandwiches since she was about 3 or 4. Of course, my 7yo daughter is pretty kickass.

She's a better man than I am, obviously. ;-)

Of course personal taste and experience has a lot to do with it. I like spicy, but I like good taste too, and forme Sriracha sauce is just heat for the sake of heat, whereas with Tabasco I can actually taste somethingalongside the heat.

And don't get me started about the high-Scoville 'designer' hot sauces that would probably work betteras personal defense weapons than as condiments.

I'll bet you'd enjoy Smoked Tabasco. This is great stuff. It has a lot of savory flavor, but almost no heat. In the 'Bunny hutch, we go through about 2 bottles a month.

I will tell you this. Siracha makes a disGUSTing bloody mary. Just...bleh. I prefer Red Rooster Louisiana for my everyday hot sauce needs. Though, this year we're going to experiment with making our own out of some of the peppers we're growing in the garden.

This text is now purple:carnifex2005: Tabasco is spicy vinegar and really doesn't bring much to any meals. Sriracha isn't even that hot if used in moderation but does bring out the flavours in far more foods than Tabasco.

Vinegar goes with a wide variety of things, so your statement is incorrect on its face.

1) Prep your canner, jars, and lids2) In a large non reactive sauce pan, combine vinegar and sugar.Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.Reduce heat and boil gently 3 minutes.Add peppers, raisins, garlic, gingerroot and salt, increase the heat and bring to a boil.Reduce heat again and boil gently 5 minutes3) Ladle the Sauce into hot jars, leaving 1/2" head space. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim. Center lid. Screw band on until finger tip tight.4) Put the jars in the boiling water canner, making sure they are completely covered with water by about 1". Bring to boil and boil 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, turn off the burner, remove the canner lid, and wait 5 minutes. Remove jars, cool, and store.

the only arguable reason why you might think sriracha is hotter is because you put more of it on. since it's thicker, less runs off.

each have their purposes. tabasco in bloody mary's and pickles. sriracha on stuff asian (very particular flavor profile, will overpower if misapplied). crystal's for everything else!

/ not a big hot sauce guy. i don't mind heat at all, but i don't care for cheap vinegar too much. some house made hotsauces are great though. like at this restaurant called cochon. or butcher, cochon's little brother. only hotsauce on earth that is actually awesome.

I know what you mean about hot for the sake of hot while foregoing flavor. that's exactly how I feel about buffalo sauce.
